"Hello, classmate."
Not long after Jiang Dahai and his wife left, a well-dressed couple came in with a young man in his twenties. The couple were carrying large and small bags, but the young man standing behind them had empty hands and was looking around.
The middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit and shiny leather shoes greeted Jiang Yilu in a friendly manner when he saw him making his bed.
"This is my son, Jiang Wencheng. We'll be roommates from now on, so we should get along well."
The couple was gentle and amiable, and seemed to get along well with each other, but they seemed to be very doting on their son. From the time they got married till now, all matters were taken care of by the couple, and the young man named Jiang Wencheng had never been seen to take action.
"Classmates, please have some fruit. We brought some strawberries from Haicheng specially. They are all washed. You and the little girl can have some." The elegant-looking aunt politely took out a basket of strawberries in a bamboo basket from her luggage.
"Don't be fooled by the ugly appearance of these strawberries. They taste very sweet."
The strawberries were not allowed to be put away. They were brought here from Haicheng by train and looked a little damaged. The auntie was afraid that they would be polite, so she grabbed a handful and put them in Jiang Yiliu and Sanni's hands.
“Sweet, huh?”
The auntie watched Jiang Yilu and his friends eat the strawberries and asked with a smile, "These are grown by Chengcheng's grandmother herself. Chengcheng likes to eat strawberries, so his grandmother always leaves a piece of land in her private plot for Chengcheng to grow strawberries every year. His grandmother takes good care of them. You can't get such sweet strawberries anywhere else."
As she spoke, the aunt's face became a little gloomy: "Now that Chengcheng has been admitted to a school so far away, he won't be able to eat the strawberries grown by his grandmother during the strawberry season. The weather in the capital is different from ours. I don't know if Chengcheng..."
"mom--"
The young man seemed to dislike his mother's nagging and shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more." The woman looked at her beloved son, stopped her long speech, and went to the side to help her husband make the bed.
Jiang Cheng's bed was on the upper bunk opposite Jiang Yiluo. It was quite troublesome to make the bed, and someone had to help pass things from below.
"How old are you? You seem a little younger than me."
The boy named Jiang Wencheng sat on a chair nearby, doing nothing, and looked at Jiang Yilu and Sanni.
Jiang Yiliu is half a head taller than his peers because of years of exercise. He is the type of person who looks thin when dressed and muscular when undressed. Although he has a fit body, he looks a bit skinny because of his delicate and childish face.
Huo Wu often said that his face was meant to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. He looked like anyone could bully him, but in fact he was a tiger with steel teeth. If anyone dared to bite him, he would burst out with his teeth.
"My brother is only fourteen this year, but he is the top scorer in the college entrance examination in our area." Sanni said proudly. Whose brother is as promising as Xiaobao?
"fourteen!"
The young man named Jiang Wencheng nearly spit out the strawberry in his mouth. He originally thought that the boy in front of him must be at least sixteen or seventeen years old, but he didn't expect him to be so young. He suddenly felt that being admitted to Huaqing University at the age of twenty was not something to be proud of.
But the young man recovered quickly and became full of energy immediately: "Now you are my brother. If you are bullied in the future, just tell me my name."
"He went to college at the age of fourteen. He has a promising future."
The man who was making the bed for his son on the upper bunk looked at Jiang Yilu below him and sighed, "Do you still have to buy your own kettle here? And your toothbrush and toothpaste, you have to buy them all yourself. Huifen, I think we just passed by a supply and marketing cooperative. Go buy everything for your son now. Chengcheng is too young to buy them by himself."
"Buy more so that you don't run out of things. Chengcheng, have a good chat with your classmates. Mom and Dad will help you buy things."
The couple looked after Jiang Wencheng like he was taking care of a baby, and said, "Don't prepare the gift by yourself. Mom and Dad will help you when they get back. Got it?"
Seeing Jiang Wencheng nodded, the couple left with peace of mind.
Jiang Yiliu thought that this young man who was raised like a little emperor might have little prince syndrome and it would be difficult to get along with him. Unexpectedly, Jiang Wencheng's personality was completely different from what he imagined.
"Finally left."
As soon as the couple left, Jiang Wencheng opened the two bags of gifts that had not yet been unpacked and started to sort them out himself.
"You don't know, my parents always think I'm a child. I'm already twenty now, but they're still worried about this and that. But don't worry, I'm not the kind of young master who doesn't have to do housework. If you have anything you can't move in the future, just come to me, your brother."
Jiang Wencheng grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "See, this arm of lumpy flesh, I have plenty of strength."
He rolled up his sleeves and made a bodybuilder gesture towards Jiang Yilu and Sanni, raising his eyebrows. This guy is not a little prince at all, more like a funny guy.
Sanni was amused by him and laughed. Seeing Sanni laughing, Jiang Wencheng felt a little embarrassed. He rolled up his sleeves and packed his things.
After that, several more roommates came.
Wang Nan, from Heilongjiang Province, looks mature and steady, and is tall. His bed is above Jiang Yilu's.
He is 29 years old this year, married and had children in his hometown. His wife was admitted to another university in the capital. They also reported today, so they did not accompany Wang Nan. They also have a son and two daughters, who are now being raised by their parents in their hometown.
The other one was Mao Dashuang from Province Z. He was 23 years old this year and looked handsome. He came from a rural area in Province Z and reported alone. He was a little gloomy. Apart from saying hello when he entered the door, he never spoke again and quietly sorted out the things he brought. The quilt cover had been washed white and had several patches on it. The bedsheets were also patched, and it looked like it was not in good condition. His bed was the last lower bunk.
In the end, there were only two people left, one was Xia Ai, who had arrived at the dormitory before Jiang Yilu, and the other was Wang Dongsheng, who had never shown up.
Jiang Yilu looked at the three roommates in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief. At least for now, it seemed that there was no one in the dormitory who was particularly difficult to get along with.
However, hopes are always meant to be broken.
"Why is this dormitory so small? There are six people living in one room. How can our Dongsheng get used to it?"
The person who came in was a fashionably dressed woman. She was also the first woman with curly hair that Jiang Yilu had seen since he came to the capital. She was wearing a fitted dress that was very long and reached her calves. She had a silk scarf tied around her neck, wore a pair of mid-heeled leather shoes, and had delicate makeup on. She looked to be in her early thirties.
Behind her was a young man in a shirt and suit pants, and a middle-aged man in a suit carrying two oversized suitcases, following closely behind her. The sweat on his forehead showed that the man was not at ease at the moment.
But neither the woman nor the young man showed any intention of helping him.
"Oh, why is Dongsheng's bed on the upper bunk? It must be so tiring to climb up and down every day. Our son can't handle it." The woman exclaimed when she saw her son's number plate, as if she saw something eye-catching.
"Mom, I don't want to sleep on the upper bunk." The young man, Wang Dongsheng, who was the last one to arrive in the dormitory, frowned and said to the fashionable woman with a hint of complaint.
"Okay, okay, let's not sleep on the top bunk."
Her beloved son frowned, almost heartbroken for the woman, and his eyes were like a machine gun, looking at the three lower bunks, as if he was looking for the easiest one to attack.
"Hey, Chengcheng, why are you doing the gift by yourself? Does your hand hurt? Are you hurt? Oh my, the gift is so heavy, why don't you let mom and dad do it?"
Jiang Wencheng's parents rushed back as quickly as possible, carrying a bunch of things in their hands. Looking at the gifts that had been opened and sorted, it was as if the sky had fallen. Each of them grabbed one of their son's hands to see if there was any injury.
"Look, your hands are all red."
Jiang Wencheng's mother looked at his hands distressedly and complained to her husband in a low voice: "I told you to hurry up, but Chengcheng was so anxious that he had to move the things by himself."
"Blame me, blame me."
The man didn't care about his wife's complaints at all. Instead, he frowned and agreed with his wife's resentment.
Jiang Wencheng shrugged helplessly at Jiang Yilu, indicating that he had no choice.
Jiang Yiliu had never seen such a doting parent before, and couldn't help but smack his lips. From this point of view, it was really a miracle that Jiang Wencheng could grow up to be what he is now.
The fashionable woman was startled by the couple who suddenly came out. She was obviously not used to the couple's straightforward and enthusiastic way of loving their son. She looked at the lower bunk on the left side of the window where the couple was standing, thinking that was his bed. She sighed in disappointment, it seemed that she could not get that position.
"Classmate, our Dongsheng is not in good health and wants to sleep by the window. Please give him your seat."
Fashionable women seem to seldom ask for help from others, and their tone of voice is condescending. Although they are clearly asking others for a favor, they sound bossy.
"Auntie, I sleep on the upper bunk. How about I switch seats with this classmate?"
Wang Nan slept on the upper bunk of Jiang Yilu. He had a generous personality and didn't want to cause unpleasantness among the people in the dormitory before they got to know each other well, so he generously gave up his bed by the window.
"No, we have to climb up and down the upper bunk, which will tire our Dongsheng."
The fashionable woman refused without thinking: "Husband, please move Dongsheng's things over there." She waved her hand and asked the man behind her to move her son's things to Jiang Yilu's place.
"Auntie, I never said I would give you my bed."
Jiang Yilu said helplessly that Wang Dongsheng was tall and strong with a ruddy complexion, and he didn't look sick at all. And judging from the woman's attitude, he would not give up his seat.
"How can you be so ignorant, kid? Have your parents ever taught you well? You don't know how to respect your elders at all." The fashionable woman's voice was a little sharp, and her finger was almost pointing at Jiang Yilu's nose.
"What are you doing? Bullying a kid. This classmate is only fourteen years old. Your son must be in his early twenties. How dare you grab the bed with another kid?"
Jiang Wencheng's mother obviously couldn't stand the fashionable woman's arrogant attitude, so she stood up and stood in front of Jiang Yilu.
"Fourteen?"
The fashionable woman narrowed her eyes, obviously not believing what the other person said.
"Xiaobao, your parents haven't come back yet."
Bai Fangqiu and Erni had already tidied up Mo Xiangdong's room. Jiang Dahai and others had greeted Bai Fangqiu when they went out to buy things just now, so Bai Fangqiu came over to ask.
"Dean Bai, hello, hello, do you remember me? I am Lin Wan's daughter." The fashionable woman's expression changed immediately when she saw Bai Fangqiu. The arrogance on her face turned into gentleness, and she smiled like a flower.
"Lin Wan?"
Bai Fangqiu pondered the name carefully in his mind and tried hard to recall it in his head.
"My mother is the director of the gynecology department."
The woman saw that Bai Fangqiu didn't seem to have any impression of him, and reminded him with an embarrassed look on her face.
"Oh, you are Lin Wan's daughter." Bai Fangqiu remembered, but he and Lin Wan belonged to different departments, and he had been away from the hospital for so long that he was a little unfamiliar with the people in various departments, so he didn't remember it all of a sudden.
"This child must be a junior in your family. He is very energetic and was admitted to Huaqing University at the age of fourteen. He is really amazing."
The fashionable woman discovered that Bai Fangqiu was looking for Jiang Yilu, with whom she had just had a conflict. At this moment, she seemed to have completely forgotten the unpleasantness just now, and treated Jiang Yilu as a junior she liked very much, praising him as if it were free.
Bai Fangqiu didn't know about the conflict in the room just now, but he also noticed the strange looks of everyone in the room. Although he was happy about other people's praise for Xiaobao, the expression on his face was just faint.
"Xiaobao, your second sister and I will go find your parents first, and then come to see you later."
Bai Fangqiu didn't like being surrounded by people, so he found an excuse and left with Erni.
After Bai Fangqiu left, the fashionable woman had no one to curry favor with, and could only help her son pack his things in a sullen manner. Because of Bai Fangqiu, the woman did not dare to take Jiang Yiliu's seat, and in the end, Wang Dongsheng still exchanged seats with Mao Dashuang, who was on the lower bunk.
Jiang Yilu and Jiang Wencheng looked at Wang Dongsheng, who was sitting on the lower bunk without even a word of gratitude, and blinked at each other. It seemed that these four years of university life would not be peaceful.
